PERSONAL

My family attends Francis Lake Baptist Church, Lake Park, Ga. where I hold an active membership. Besides racing, I relish the time I spend with my family. I am so thankful for my loving parents, David and Dale Hodges, who brought me into this world on Oct. 10, 1981 and who have nurtured and molded my life as a son first, along with assisting me to develop my passion for racing.

SUMMARY

I am so blessed. I have the talents that make up a race car driver and a terrific support team of sponsors, family, co-workers, crew chief and fans that assist me in my chosen career. Since age 13, I have been allowed the privilege to compete in this wonderful industry of racing. My humble beginnings in remote control fostered the ambition and desire to become the very best driver I can be. Yes, I played football, baseball and wrestled. But, my biggest kick was to go to the races with my dad. My dad has always been in racing either as a driver or owner. We are still driving and working together as a team. Through the past decade, I have learned lessons both on and off the track that have enabled me to become successful throughout the southeast as a consistent competitor including frequent trips to Victory Lane. There is no better feeling than to be a winner in a winning organization on a winning team. I love doing what I do best . . . drive a race car.
